DESCRIPTION

The invention and accompanying drawings are discussed below, usingreference numerals to identify parts and features, to enable one skilledin the art to practice the present invention. The drawings anddescriptions are exemplary of various aspects of the invention and arenot intended to limit or narrow the scope of the appended claims.

The present invention relates generally to wearable products, whichincludes products that are commonly worn by an individual as a fashionor design article, including, for example, articles of jewelry, such asbracelets, pendants, finger rings, earrings, body piercing pins andrings, necklaces, as well as hairclips, headbands, watches, belts, beltbuckles, and the like.

One aspect of the invention include a predesigned wearable articlecomprising an attachment surface adapted for attachment of an adhesivedisplay sheet and one or more recessed trimming channel defining one ormore boundary of the attachment surface. In another embodiment, thetrimming channel defines each boundary of the attachment surface of thepredesigned wearable article.

One embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 1, in the form of abracelet or bangle. Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG.3, in the form of an earring. It is understood that the wearablearticles may be in any one of various forms described in the aboveparagraph, including jewelry or other wearable fashion accessories. Asshown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the wearable products of the presentinvention generally comprise a predesigned wearable article 1 having anattachment surface 2 that is adapted for attachment of an adhesivedisplay sheet (shown separately in FIG. 2) and having one or morerecessed trimming channel 3 defining one or more boundary of theattachment surface. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 also show the sidewalls 4 of therecessed trimming channel 3.

In another embodiment, the wearable product of the invention may,optionally, further include an adhesive display sheet 10, as shown inFIG. 2. The adhesive display sheet 10 comprises a display surface 11opposite an adhesive surface 12. The display sheet serves the functionof presenting designs on the display surface 12 and adhering the displaysheet to the attachment surface 2 of the predesigned wearable article bymeans of the adhesive surface 12. The adhesive display sheet 10 is sizedto overlay at least a portion of the attachment surface 12 of thepredesigned wearable article 1 and to extend beyond at least oneboundary defined by a recessed trimming channel 3. When the displaysheet is applied to the attachment surface of the wearable article oneor more of the edges of the adhesive display sheet extend beyond atleast one of the one or more recessed trimming channel. Thus, in someembodiments, one or more edges of the adhesive display sheet extendbeyond the edge of one or more recessed trimming channel, requiring thatthe portions of the display sheet extending beyond the recessed trimmingchannel be trimmed. In one embodiment of the invention, at least oneedge of the adhesive display sheet will extend beyond a recessedtrimming channel. By trimming the edges of the laminate sheet extendingbeyond the recessed trimming channel, the display sheet can be madesubstantially flush with the edges of the attachment surface, therebycreating an edge of the laminate sheet that is flush with the edge ofthe attachment surface, which is visually pleasing to the eye.Alternatively, in other embodiments, all of the adhesive display sheetis sized greater than the size of the attachment surface of the wearablearticle, such that all edges of the adhesive display sheet are trimmedat the edge of the recessed trimming channel, to give the edges of theadhesive display sheet a clean cut appearance. In the event that anyportion of the display sheet extends beyond the recessed trimmingchannel, the trimming channel may be used as a guide to cut and trimthat portion of the display sheet extending beyond the recessed trimmingchannel, whereby the portion of the display sheet that is attached tothe attachment surface has a well-defined and clean cut edge defined bythe edge of the trimming channel. Thus, in some embodiments, a recessedtrimming channel 3 may define only a portion of the boundary of theattachment surface, for example, only one edge, or two edges, or threeedges, leaving one or more other edges defined without a recessedtrimming channel. In some embodiments, the adhesive display sheet may besized to overlay at least all of the attachment surface of thepredesigned wearable article. In other embodiments, the recessedtrimming channel 3 defines each boundary of the attachment surface ofthe wearable article, such that all boundaries of the attachment surfaceterminate at a recessed trimming channel. For example, in an embodimentin the form of a cuff style bracelet (where the ends of the braceletwrap around but do not touch each other), recessed trimming channels mayrun along the sides of the bracelet to each of the ends, but not alongeach end. The end of the bracelet would accordingly act as a boundarywithout a trimming channel, and the display sheet when applied to theattachment surface, may be trimmed using the end of the bracelet as attrimming guide. In the event that the cut edge of the display sheet isnot a clean cut or is not perfectly flush with the edge of the displaysurface, any portion of the display sheet that remains uncut andextending over the recessed trimming channel can be pressed down intothe recessed trimming channel, using a fingernail, back of a knifeblade, or other pointed object, so as to hide the uncut edge from view.

The wearable products of the invention comprise a wearable articlehaving one or more recessed trimming channels for trimming the edges ofa display sheet attached to the wearable article. The trimming channelsare adapted to enable use of a cutting tool, such as a knife, a razor,or a circular cutting disk, to trim the adhesive display sheet along theedge of the trimming channel. In some embodiments, the wearable productscomprise one or more recessed trimming channels comprising side wallssubstantially perpendicular to the attachment surface of the predesignedwearable product. In other embodiments, the wearable article comprisesone or more recessed trimming channels comprising side walls at anon-perpendicular angle to the attachment surface of the predesignedwearable product, for example at an angle greater than 90° (where arecessed channel is valley shaped) or at an angle less than 90° (wherean outer edge of the attachment surface overhangs the recessed trimmingchannel).

The trimming channel may be of any convenient depth or width. In someembodiments, the trimming channel may comprise two side walls. In otherembodiments, the trimming channel may comprise only one side wall, suchthat the channel is open opposite the one side wall. In embodimentswhere the channel has two side walls, the trimming channel may have awidth sufficient to accommodate a cutting tool, such as a standard knifeedge, a razor blade, or circular blade. Thus, the measurement of thechannel will be slightly wider than the width of the cutting tool, sothat the cutting tool may cut within the channel. In some embodiments,the trimming channel width measures roughly 1 mm wide and can varydepending on the particular look desired. In other embodiments, thewidth of the trimming channel may be slightly smaller, for example,approximately 0.9 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.6 mm, or 0.5 mm. In otherembodiments, the width of the trimming channel may be slightly larger,for example, approximately 1.1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.3 mm , 1.4 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.6mm, 1.7 mm, 1.8 mm, 1.9 mm or 2.0 mm wide. The channel is deep enough toallow a cutting tool stay within the channel while cutting along theedge of the channel without slipping out. In some embodiments, the depthof the channel measures approximately 1 mm deep. In other embodiments,the depth of the channel may be small, for example, measuringapproximately 0.9 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.6 mm or 0.5 mm. In otherembodiments, the depth of the channel measures approximately 1.1 mm, 1.2mm, 1.3 mm, 1.4 mm 1.5 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.7 mm, 1.8 mm, 1.9 mm or 2.0 mmdeep. The particular depth and width may, of course, vary from the abovevalues, depending on the particular circumstances, or upon theparticular design considerations, including the artistic or aestheticconsiderations of the design of the wearable article. The principalfunctional consideration is that the depth and width be adequate toaccommodate a cutting tool for trimming any excess portion of theadhesive display sheet that extends beyond the trimming channel.

In some embodiments, the present invention further contemplates anadhesive display sheet, which is attached or adhered to the attachmentsurface of the wearable article. In some embodiments, the adhesivedisplay sheet may also include a clear coat protector laminate,overlaying the display surface of the display sheet, for protecting thedisplay surface from wear and tear, thereby extending the effective lifespan of the adhesive laminate sheet.

In some embodiments, the adhesive display sheet may be pressuresensitive, so that some degree of pressure acts to secure the adhesiveto the attachment surface of the wearable article. In such embodiments,a pressure sensitive adhesive material is used for the adhesive surface.Suitable adhesive materials will conform readily to the attachmentsurface of the wearable article, and will have sufficiently high tack toprevent the adhesive display sheet from releasing prematurely duringnormal use. In some embodiments, where it is desirable to change thedisplay sheet and replace it with a display sheet of a different design,the adhesive display sheet may be removably or releasably attached tothe attachment surface of the wearable article. In such embodiments, aremovable adhesive material will be used for the adhesive surface. Insome embodiments, the adhesive display sheet may be heat releasable orheat removable, meaning that the adhesive display sheet can be removedonly by or more easily by application of heat, for example, by breathingwarm air on the display sheet, rubbing it with a finger or palm of thehand, blowing with a blow dryer on a heat setting, or by placing next toa heat source, until the display sheet is warm and malleable and can bepeeled off. In some embodiments, the display sheet can be removedwithout significant tearing or without leaving adhesive material on theattachment surface of the wearable article.

In some embodiments, the adhesive display sheet may be heat curable,meaning that the adhesive surface of the adhesive display sheet can becured or fixed, removably or permanently, by application of heat, forexample, by breathing warm air on the display sheet, rubbing it with afinger or palm of the hand, blowing with a blow dryer on a heat setting,or by placing next to a heat source, until the adhesive undergoes analteration that renders it sufficiently adhesive to adhere while in use,or sufficiently adhesive to be permanently adhesive. In otherembodiments, the adhesive display sheet is permanently attached to theattachment surface of the wearable article.

The adhesive display sheet may be comprised of any sheet-like materialhaving a display surface, with an adhesive surface opposite the displaysurface. Adhesive backings are well known to those skilled in the art,and can be selected, depending on whether a permanent attachment or atemporary attachment is desired. Suitable adhesive materials includeacrylic adhesives, rubber based adhesives, silicon adhesives, blendedadhesives, etc. The present invention also contemplates the use of wetadhesives that may be applied to the back of the display surface,prepared for attachment to the attachment surface of the wearablearticle by wetting with water or other solvent, and allowed to dry onthe attachment surface.

The display surface may comprise printed, etched, holographic designs ormolded designs on the surface, or may include other structures, such asrocks, beads, gems, etc. glued or embedded on the display surface.

The adhesive display sheet may be constructed of any flexible material,such as paper, leather, vinyl, plastic, metal foil, foam, felt, rubber,cork, fabric, etc. In some embodiments, for example, the adhesivedisplay sheet is comprised of vinyl, which may be printed, etched ormolded with a design. Another suitable material includes bi-axiallyoriented polypropylene (BOPP). BOPP material has good clarity,resistance to UV light, excellent chemical and abrasion resistance, anda smooth surface. The display surface of the adhesive display sheet maybe transparent, opaque, colored, lettered, glittered, jeweled, orpatterned.

In some embodiments, the laminate sheet of the present invention is madeof vinyl with a display surface on one side and releasable adhesivesurface on the opposite side for attaching the display sheet to thesurface of a wearable product. Vinyl sheets can be punched or unpunchedfilms of any different color, design (including writing), thickness,surface finish, or brand name. Vinyl display sheets generally include adisplay surface, an adhesive surface, and, optionally, a clear coatlaminate protector shield over the display surface. In some embodiments,the adhesive display sheet may further comprise a clear coat laminatelayer on the outer surface for the purpose of protecting the underlyingdisplay surface from wear and tear.

Various types and grade of vinyl sheets are known and used in the art.Generally, most vinyl films are made from polyvinylchloride (PVC)polymer. Other ingredients may be added to the PVC, includingplasticizers to make the film flexible, pigments to the desired color,and additives to help achieve specific properties such as UV absorbersto improve resistance to ultraviolet radiation, heat stabilizers,fillers and processing aids. Vinyl films can be made by eithercalendaring or by casting. Cast films, which are known in the industryas premium, high-performance, grade have excellent durability andconformability. The term “cast” refers to the manufacturing process ofthis type of vinyl. Cast vinyl is typically made by mixing variousingredients in the formulation, including solvents, then pouring orcasting onto a moving web known as the casting sheet, and finallyprocessed through a series of ovens to allow evaporation of thesolvents. The casting sheet determines the texture of the film. Becausecast vinyl is cast on the casting sheet in a relaxed state, thismaterial offers very good dimensional stability, and allows the film tobe cast very thin (to about 2 mil or less), which contributes to theconformability of the product. Alternatively, the vinyl sheets used inthe present invention may be a calendered vinyl film. Calendered vinylfilm is formulated with similar raw PVC materials and other ingredientsas cast vinyl, but is processed without solvents, relying instead onheating the PVC material until it reaches a molten state, and thenextruding the film through a die and then through a series ofcalendaring rollers. Calendered films tend to be thicker (usually 3.2 to3.4 mils) than cast films because of the limitations of the calendaringprocess. The various components used to make such PVC films, and theprocesses used to make them, are well known to those skilled in the art,and may be selected according to the quality grade and performanceproperties desired.

In some embodiments, the vinyl used for the laminate sheet is castvinyl. Cast vinyl is known and used in the industry for premium,high-performance, repositionable, laminate sheets. Cast vinyl generallyhas a thickness of approximately 2 mil, which has excellent durabilityand conformability characteristics. In other embodiments, cast vinyl mayvary from approximately 1-3 mil in thickness. Premium grade vinyl filmsinclude high performance cast vinyl films made of premium quality,flexible, opaque solid color, high gloss, thin, vinyl material. Thevinyl film may also include translucent vinyl films, which are made ofhigh performance, flexible, translucent cast vinyl material. Vinyl filmsmay also include metallic cast vinyl films made of premium quality,flexible, opaque solid color, high gloss metallic vinyl material. Inanother embodiment, the cast vinyl is laminated with a cast laminatelayer. An example of suitable cast vinyl includes, but is not limitedto, 3M brand 2mil IJ180 ControlTac, which uses a premium cast laminateclear vinyl to laminate the vinyl. Alternatively, another suitable vinylmaterial is a premium cast vinyl, made by Arlon, DFP 6000XRP 2 mil withcast laminate.

In other embodiments, the laminate sheet may comprise a calenderedvinyl. Calendered vinyl films are frequently referred to as intermediatefilms, typically having a thickness of about 4 mm, for short-term oreconomy use. Calendered vinyl films may comprise a flexible high glossvinyl material, and may range from approximately 2 mm to 4 mm inthickness. Calendered vinyl is formulated with similar raw materials ascast vinyl, except that no solvents are used. The batch is mixed andheated to a molten state. In another embodiment, the calendered vinyl islaminated with a calendered laminate layer.
